Yep . . .

I'm still in an obsessing over rings phase :)

How can I not be with so many amazing rings out there? Here are my favorites of the day.

Carnival ring in sterling silver

Map of Hawaii Photographic Art Ring

Whip cream heart ring

Dancehall farrah

Betsey Johnson 'Betsey's Picnic' Strawberry Statement Ring

Lily and Vegas went bobbing for hot dogs over the weekend so I feel like the pictures need to be shared! It took more coaxing to get Lily in there but she actually did better than I expected!

I'm heading to Ocean City for the weekend so I'm super excited! I hope you enjoy your weekend too :)

Boston Terriers!

I feel like I've been surrounded by adorable Boston Terriers recently! These in particular:

This necklace from All Mighty

This dog bed (I wish the little cutie sleeping on top was included!)

And this card

But of course doxies still have to be first in my heart :)

This necklace seems like a great way to show it

I think Lily would approve!

I also think these necklaces from A.N. Original Jewelry are so cute.

Have a great day :)

Easter Weekend :)

I had a wonderful long weekend! It started off by having falafel Thursday night in Baltimore. It was so delicious! Then Friday was spent visiting my grand mom and parents and getting my dress fitted for the wedding I'm going to May 8th. Oh, and I also picked up my grandmother's ring that she gave me when I turned 20. I have always been afraid to lose it, so I've never worn it. But I decided since I'm going to three weddings this year I may as well wear it! Isn't it pretty??

Then Saturday I volunteered at the MDSPCA again. Picasso is still there, but she seems like a different dog in just a week! She was bouncing all around when I took her outside, and her hair is starting to grow back so she is soft now. I also fell in love with another dog named Heath. He is so sweet and amazingly calm. I wish I could take them all. I also walked another sweet, calm dog named Cletis. When I was walking him there was a family in the parking lot that said they saw him on the website so they came over to pet him. They kept saying how friendly he was, so hopefully they will come back to adopt him.

It was such a beautiful day Lily worked on her tan :)

She was joined by our groundhog, Chuck Norris, and tons of bumble bees that wouldn't leave us alone!

Back to work today but I leave Friday morning to go visit Stacey in Austin! I am so excited!!

MDSPCA and New Favorites!

I had my first day volunteering at the MDSPCA Saturday and it went really well! My favorite dog (who was thankfully already adopted) was a small pit bull that had been completely covered in paint. The SPCA had to shave off all of her hair to get the paint off, and there were spots where her skin had been rubbed raw. Her name was Picasso. I took her out in one of the fenced in areas and sat down on the cement. She plopped right down on my lap, legs dangling awkwardly off :)

I also walked this guy named Bruno (who is still looking for a home). So adorable!

Moving along, let's get to my latest favorites!

TARINA TARANTINO'S "ACID ALICE" MULTIBEAD CLUSTER STRETCH RING

Harvey's Wrist Rosette

Sascha the siamese kitty, LORiOLA lampwork glass cat pendant

Pink grapefruit necklace in silver and concrete

CUPCAKES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER WOMENS T-SHIRT

It's a rainy Monday here, but the forecast for the weekend has me very happy :)

Lily needs this

I'm not usually one to say Lily needs something. But I do believe she NEEDS this!

Just imagine it. Lily + tutu = adorable. It's undeniable.

You can check out the shop that sells the tutu here!

Sneak Peek at My Halloween Card Photo!

I love Halloween. I'm already trying to figure out my costume. Karim has agreed this year to do a couple's costume! Yay! Right now I'm kind of leaning toward Popeye and Olive Oil. More on that later.

But here is a sneak peek at the picture I'll probably be using when I send out my Halloween cards! Who needs Christmas/holiday cards when you can send them out on Halloween?!

The mustache was made by somethingshidinginhere (shop located here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5151333) and the pink ones are sold at Red Velvet Art (link to shop on the right of my blog).

This is the picture I used last year :) She hates clothes so much. It took my roommate and I quite a while to finally convince her to sit still and not swat the horns off of her head. Well worth the effort if you ask me!
